By the time we gathered outside Aurora’s room so we could go eat breakfast together, it was already 8am. Thankfully, Aurora wasn’t one of those girls who wasted other people’s time by getting ready at a snail’s pace, so we didn’t have to wait more than a few minutes for her to meet us at the door.

The unfortunate thing was that we had to sit with Caden and Aiden’s ‘friends’ from the Crawford Pack because Aurora’s father had chosen to have breakfast in his room as he finished some ‘paperwork’, or more likely, teleported away from Mac Tire City to see Amelia, Aurora’s mother.

Caden, Aiden, and Mateo’s ‘friends’ were the same group of people who had ostracized Aurora at Crawford University and helped Mateo come up with his stupid foul plan for Caden and Aiden’s birthday party.

While I might have partially forgiven Caden and Mateo, I hadn’t forgiven their friends at all and I didn’t want to speak to them, so the conversation at our breakfast table was stilted for the first few minutes.

Because I was a half-vampire, I could eat human food even though it wasn’t as sustaining as blood. After understanding where our table was, I followed Aurora and Aiden as they went around the food buffet and picked a few easy-to-digest meals here and there since I was one of those half-vampires who was susceptible to digestion issues because my body preferred blood to human meals.

As soon as Aurora saw a pot of Chinese rice porridge, she poured some into a bowl and placed it on my tray. After all, we were both aware of my digestion issues and while it was true that I took care of Aurora when she was younger, she’d also taken care of me, too.

I didn’t even frown when she pulled off the pancake on my plate, glared at me, and placed it on hers. I smiled sheepishly, resisting the urge to tell her that I had picked the pancakes for her, even though I’d picked them up because the sight of them filled me with a nostalgic craving.

Soon we returned to our breakfast table, which many of the Crawford Pack members had returned to after picking their favorite breakfast options from the never-ending buffet choices provided by the hotel’s restaurant.

As if she’d somehow noticed that I was craving pancakes, the first thing Aurora did was to cut out half a pancake from her stack and place it on my plate with some butter. I looked down at the half pancake with butter melting over it for a few seconds.

“You don’t want it? I’ll eat it for you then.” The nosy Aiden leaned forward to place his fork over my pancake, but I interrupted its unruly journey with my fork.

“Don’t be nosy. Aurora gave me that.” I said, glaring at him until he took his fork away.

Then, I smiled at Aurora, trying to convey how happy I was that she’d still noticed the little things like my unhealthy cravings, even though Aiden had been talking nonstop to her throughout the time we were picking our breakfasts.
